I couldn’t have asked for a better makeup artist than Ashley! She completely got me bringing to life exactly what I was hoping for, even when I couldn’t fully put it into words myself. Ashley made me feel like myself, which is truly all I wanted on my wedding day. Since I don’t really wear makeup daily, I was nervous about looking too done-up—but she struck the perfect balance. She listened, understood what I wanted (even when I couldn’t explain it perfectly), and brought it to life so naturally. I’m so thankful!

Three weeks before my wedding, I had a terrible makeup trial with another artist and went into panic mode. I stumbled across Alina on Instagram, and she replied right away — so kind, calm, and reassuring. She and Sveta fit me in for a hair and makeup trial that same week and spent over four hours making sure everything was absolutely perfect. They talked through every little detail and genuinely cared about getting my vision just right. Both Alina and Sveta went above and beyond; rearranging their schedules to allow more time at my venue and staying in touch in the days leading up to the wedding to fine-tune the final look. On the wedding day, they made me feel beautiful, calm, and completely myself. My mom also got her hair and makeup done for the first time ever and was absolutely glowing, she still can’t stop talking about how special they made her feel. I’m beyond grateful we found Alina and Sveta — they pour their hearts into their work. Their talent, professionalism, and heart truly made my day unforgettable. If you have the chance to book them, don’t hesitate!

Awarded Best of Zola
I had originally booked both Hair and Makeup with Cloud & Rea Studio but due to a scheduling conflict Kelsea ended up stepping in the day of the wedding to help me and my bridal party with all our different hair looks. She was great to work with and pulled together 4 very different hair styles while dealing with different hair textures and lengths. We were able to clearly communicate our vision and she brought it to life with skill and professionalism. She also did a stellar job at the end of our getting ready session when my matron of honor still needed to get her hair done and we were running behind to get picked up. Kelsea was able to get her hair done in a fraction of the time she normally would have and it looked amazing all day. We had a late morning wedding with a late afternoon reception and everything held up for all 4 of us through the ceremony, pictures, and dancing. I would highly recommend Kelsea if you’re in the DC area.

I found Cloud & Rea here on Zola after initially deciding not to do professional hair and makeup and am so glad that I reached out to them. Claudia was very responsive throughout the process before the wedding and clearly communicated with me as far as pricing, scheduling, advice before the day of, and timelines for getting ready. I had a late morning wedding and needed to have services for 4 of us and she came through like a champ and was able to get us looking perfect for the rest of the day. 3 of us are in our 40’s and my stepmom is in her 60’s and Claudia was able to do 4 completely different looks on us, none of which looked caked on or heavy. I really appreciated that she was able to work with different skin types and facial features, making all of us feel beautiful. I did do two makeup trials due to being indecisive on what I wanted for my final look. I knew I didn’t want it too bridal with the focus on my eyes and by working through my vision with Claudia I ended up with an amazing final product the day of my wedding. The first trial also included a hair trial that I was happy with but due to a scheduling conflict we ended up having our hair done by Artistry by Kelsea.

Bianca is incredibly talented and just the best! She did the makeup for my May 2024 Indian fusion wedding (both for my wedding day and my Sangeet), and I could not have felt more beautiful. Something that was incredibly important to me when deciding on a MUA was finding an artist that is well experienced with a variety of skin tones. Bianca absolutely killed it while doing a variety of different looks. Leading up to my wedding, I went to Bianca for a few facials. The actual experience of the facial was so relaxing, and my skin was so hydrated and glowing leading up to my wedding. After my wedding, I also asked Bianca if she could do a makeup class for me. She had made me feel truly so beautiful (but still like myself). The class made makeup approachable for someone who has very limited makeup experience. She was SO thorough afterwards in all the materials she sent me with instructions and products listed to be able to recreate the looks we went over. I cannot recommend Bianca enough for all of her services!!

Carla Pressley - Hair Stylist & Makeup Artist 
Rating: 4.2 (5 reviews)
  • Serves Potomac, MD

I’m Carla Pressley and I do hair and makeup! I’m a mixed African American/Korean chick born the year of the DOG in July which makes me a fiercely loyal sentimental Cancer. I also talk to most dogs and have been the proud mother to two Jindo dogs. I laugh EXACTLY like my two brothers, TRY eating vegan most of the time, LOVE yoga, and tear up EVERY time dads see’s the bride for the first time.

When I was looking for a hair and makeup artist, I wanted someone who I felt confident could help me decide the look for my wedding and come up with options for my naturally curly hair. However, I knew the deciding factor would be whether I felt confident that the artist could make every member of my bridal party that was diverse (in terms of race, disability, and LGBTQ) bridal party look and feel beautiful. Carla's portfolio showed me that she really lives her values of inclusion and I booked her with full confidence after our phone consultation the day after my inquiry. She gave me different options for the schedule for either just her or her and a team. I ended up going with the option of her and her team to not start so early and have a more efficient schedule. I was right to place my trust in her and the team she works with! I did a trial a couple weeks before my wedding, which I cannot recommend highly enough. It was definitely one of the most fun experiences of the entire wedding planning process! Carla spent a few hours with me trying different looks based on my inspiration photos and the vibe of my dress. I left so excited and knowing I had options I liked based on how I was feeling and the weather. On my wedding day she and her team were fantastic and executed flawlessly and made everyone comfortable on what was a hectic morning. My mother hadn't worn makeup since her wedding almost 40 years ago. My sister and maid of honor is also autistic with intellectual disabilities and had never worn makeup but wanted to be included (and look like a princess!) Carla and her team (special shoutout to makeup artist Mong!) were so patient and understanding and put them both at ease, which I appreciated so much. My other bridesmaids had a wonderful experience with makeup artist Nas as well. In terms of myself, I can say without question I've never felt more beautiful and glamorous but still myself than I did on my wedding day. Carla came with us to the church and fixed my veil that blew off during my first look and touched up everyone before we walked down the aisle. The look stayed the whole day and my hair held through the dip in our first dance into the after party. Going with Carla for hair and makeup was easily one of the best decisions I made in wedding planning and I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Hi, I’m a professional makeup artist with over six years of experience, trained in both cosmetology and aesthetics. I specialize in soft glam, timeless makeup that enhances your natural beauty not masks it while ensuring your skin looks radiant and flawless throughout your wedding day.

Every look is thoughtfully designed to feel effortless, polished, and true to you, lasting from “I do” to the last dance. I’m passionate about creating a calm, luxury experience where brides feel comfortable, confident, and completely taken care of

Working with Makeup by Steph was an absolute pleasure. Her communication style is professional yet relaxed, and she was incredibly responsive throughout the entire process. The quality of her work was truly amazing - the soft glam look she created for me on my wedding day was worth every penny and lasted beautifully all night long. Steph also helped me figure out the best makeup routine for my combination skin, and even gave me a small amount of lipstick for touch-ups, which came in so handy! She was extremely nice and answered all of my questions with patience and expertise. The photos are from our trial, the ones taken in the bathroom were hours later after I had ran around doing wedding errands and ate! I couldn't have asked for a better beauty professional to be part of our special day.

As a proudly self-taught artist and devoted mother, I bring both heart and precision to every bridal experience. Growing up as one of ten children taught me the beauty of individuality, and that lesson lives at the core of my artistry. Based in the DMV, I’ve built my business on a passion for luxury beauty and a dedication to making your wedding glam an incredible experience. Doing my own wedding makeup was an experience that deepened my appreciation for the balance between artistry, emotion, and confidence. I’m honored to bring that same balance to every bride I work with, ensuring each moment feels luxurious, calm, and unforgettable.

After using Lilly for my own wedding, Lilly was the makeup artist for another wedding I was in. She is AMAZING! She makes you feel comfortable, beautiful, hyped. She’s so attentive and really tailors the look to the person. The moms at my wedding refused to book makeup. They insisted a makeup artist would make them look too overdone. After doing mine and my girls’ makeup, all the moms asked to be squeezed in. Not only did Lilly add 3 extra faces AT THE LAST MINUTE but she also took the time to ask them questions about what they liked/didn’t like to be sure to accommodate their preferences. Lilly has a wide range - from bold to natural. She did a fantastic job at both weddings and just brought such a great vibe. I highly highly recommend her!!

Hi, I’m Celeste, a professional makeup artist specializing in soft glam to full glam bridal looks. I focus on enhancing your natural beauty while creating a flawless, long-lasting finish that photographs beautifully on your wedding day. I customize each look to match your skin type, features, and vision so you feel like yourself just elevated. I have experience working with brides and bridal parties of all sizes and strive to provide a calm, stress-free experience from trial to wedding day, ensuring you feel confident and taken care of.

I cannot recommend Celeste as a wedding makeup artist enough—working with her was truly one of the best decisions I made for my big day. From the very first consultation, she was attentive, professional, and genuinely invested in bringing my vision to life. She took the time to understand my style, skin type, and preferences, offering expert suggestions while still making me feel completely heard. On the wedding day, everything was seamless. Celeste arrived early, fully prepared, and brought such a calm, positive energy that helped ease any nerves. The makeup itself was absolutely flawless—natural yet elevated, radiant without feeling heavy, and perfectly tailored to both my features and the overall aesthetic of the wedding. I cannot express to you how at ease I felt when I saw how clean the brushes and make-up setup was! It photographed beautifully and lasted all day and night without needing touch-ups. What truly stood out was her attention to detail and ability to enhance my and my wedding parties' natural beauty rather than mask it. I felt like the best version of myself—confident, comfortable, and glowing. If you’re looking for someone who is not only incredibly talented but also reliable, kind, and passionate about what they do, this is the makeup artist you want by your side on your wedding day.

I’m so thankful for my dear friend and talented makeup artist! She is incredibly detailed, patient, and thoughtful in her work — every look she creates is beautiful and refined.

Beyond her professional skills, she is also a sister in Christ, serving others with kindness and grace. May the Lord richly bless the work of her hands, and may everything she does be filled with God’s favor and joy!
